I had spent most of 1968 into early 1969 at Da Nang, Vietnam and certainly something I'll never forget. Rising costs, inflation and much of it fueled from ignorance and greed right here in the United States at a level I've never seen before. Many people that came from Vietnam understand the price of losing Your freedom as they did which is something many US Citizens have no concept of. I've only seen video and pictures of Vietnam as it appears today, have been many of the places shown and the changes are amazing. New Construction, high rise buildings, tourism, commercial development. It's unlikely at age 78 now I'll ever travel that far again to visit but it's apparent it is a whole different place in the post war peacetime. I retired from the US Air Force Myself as a SMSgt with 22 years service.

My son made a trip to Vietnam with his professional military education class and he said it was amazing.

I spent two weeks in da nang just can’t see it
